The free agent inside linebacker met with the Green Bay Packers for about an hour Wednesday at the team's Lambeau Field facilities. Last week, Jones had met with the Tennessee Titans.

In a light blue hooded sweatshirt, a driver brought Jones to 1265 Lombardi Ave. around 4 CST and he departed an hour later. On his way out, Jones did not stop to speak to a pair of reporters about his situation. His agent Josh Wright did not indicate if Jones had reached a deal with the Packers. »Read Full Blog Post

Great, let's make sure we keep the team that got torched by the 49ers together. Maybe they can extend Mike Neal's contract too, don't want to lose him. If you have 8 million to give to Jennings, 8 million to give to Finley, why don't you spend a bit on a DE, a pass rusher and a safety???

Not "a" DE or "a" pass rusher. It has to be the right guy at the right price. There are so few Free Agent hits every year, I very much like the cautious approach. When is the last time anyone found a stud DE in free agency? Reggie White?

You don't go crazy with free agents, but you can make strategic choices that can help the team. Peppers was a good sign for the Bears. Jared Allin in MN, etc. good choices for the Pack would have included Canty or Jackson. Why look at Brad Jones? Yes, free agency isn't over, but it's clear that Thompson will only sign street players that other teams have passed on. Lets hope that Dejuan Harris was am good find and not the second coming of Samkon Gado.

Brad Jones is just another guy. You don't pay players like him big dollars. Ted drafted a lot of guys on defense last year and we gotta hope that after one year they will grow up and play this year. They've already missed on all the good one's. Here is a thought. Why not bring back Woodson for a lot less money and make him a rushing linebacker/safety? He might be the best available right now.

True sloths, but he is below average as a player starting at ILB ion the NFL. He was the 4th guy at best when season began. The Packers know what they have in him, "just an average" football player who can plug a hole once in a while.

sloths, he's neither fast or versatile. In fact he's not all that young either. And yes, he is just a guy by NFL standards. A backup who can be easily replaced. If they bring him back for more than the minimum they are nuts.

This just in DP..Lombardi let Jim Taylor go to the Saints in the tail end of his career, and many others. The club didn't pack anybody's bags. Those older veteran players are seeking giant contracts. There's a big difference dude.

I must not be watching the same game as people who think highly of Jones as a starting ILB. HE plays high, seems to usually make a tackle down field like his neighbor AJ, and I don't see his worth at all, except maybe a special teams player.

Jones is almost as bad as Hawk. I don't get it. They need a major upgrade at ILB. Let's pray Bishop is back at 100%. Then draft a ILB for depth. I still think Manning is going to be a force this year. Jones is slow, undersized, and not dynamic at all. For all that is holy TT please upgrade this defense.

As the third back-up @ inside and outside he is solid. I wish he hadn't had to play so much, but these guys need to be on the team at the minimum salary. They can't all be all-pro. Heck, you can't even afford 4 all-pros on the starting team.

Jones an average guy. If some team wants to pay him superstar money great for him. He's a decent backup type though. Give the Bears credit for cutting loose Urlacher because he has lost it. Age and injuries have caught up and over taken him. Too bad he didn't just retire after the last season.

Kind of like Walden. OK player but just a guy. I'd like to see Jones back to add some depth. He only was in the spot for a year so he could develop into a player. WIth Bishop coming back Hawk may become expendable after camp, making many people on here happy. As for Urlacher, I agree. He wants more than he's worth, they walked away. Bears maybe becoming smart after years of failure.
